? Chances of winning the Lotto 6/49 lottery

Lotto 6/49 is a national lottery game in Canada. As the name implies, six numbers are drawn from a set of 49. If a ticket matches all six numbers, the jackpot prize of at least $5,000,000 is won. A bonus number is also drawn, and if a player's ticket matches five numbers and the bonus number, the player wins the "second prize" which is usually between $100,000 and $500,000.

b) What is the probability of winning 3 out of 6 numbers?
c) What is the probability of winning 5 out of 6 numbers and NOT the bonus number drawn?
d) What's the probability of winning 5 out of 6 plus the bonus?
